Chapter 36: The Director's Invitation

"How's this?"

In the audition room, an actor had just finished his audition and left, and someone from Jeve Records leaned into Britney's ear and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Not good. Britney Spears shook her head directly, "Too skinny, not strong enough." ”

The people at Jive Records whispered in the MV director's ear, and the MV director Martin Jackson didn't hesitate to put a red cross on the actor's profile.

The opinions of Britney Spears and Jive Records, Martin Jackson as a director needs to be respected, and he has a certain say in various matters such as casting, but the order is lower than the two.

But Martin Jackson doesn't think the two will have much of a decisive opinion, after all, he is a professional.

"Let the next one in. ”

Martin Jackson said to the assistant, who quickly walked in with Michael Sheehan.

Britney Spears saw Michael Sheehan and whispered to the guys at Jive Records, "This looks good." ”

In the lounge not far from the audition room, Matthew saw another person going in high spirits and coming back dejectedly, and couldn't help but retract his gaze and look to the side, Amanda was sitting in a chair and fiddling with her phone boringly.

Helen Herman left after bringing them here, and according to Amanda, she went to meet an executive at Jive Records.

The three people who completed the audition were in a bad mood when they came back, and Matthew was also a little drumming in his heart, and he was very curious about the audition room, but he couldn't go in to see it, he asked the first and second people who were brushed down, but the two were silent and didn't mention the situation in the audition room.

Matthew lowered his voice and said to Amanda, "We're old friends, this audition, is there any news you know I don't know?"

He had already taken out the information that Amanda was Helen Herman's cousin.

"It doesn't seem to be. Amanda thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes. I've heard Helen say that Britney Spears has a lot of say in her MV male lead. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, thinking in his heart.

It wasn't too long before Michael Sheehan returned to the lounge, and unlike the previous three, his face was full of excitement, and Matthew didn't have to ask to know that this guy must have passed this initial audition.

That's when someone shouted, "Matthew Horner!"

"It's coming!"

Matthew answered, and quickly followed the man into the audition room.

It was an audition-like first audition, with no makeup and no change of clothes.

As soon as he entered the audition room, Matthew quickly made a quick tour of the opposite side without a trace, and directly opposite him was a video camera, behind which sat a photographer with glasses, and then a few chairs were placed on the left, and a row of people sat on them, the most striking of which was Britney Spears, who had long blond-brown hair.

Matthew didn't know the others, and speculated that it might be the director or producer of the music video, the management of Britney Spears' record company, and representatives of the Screen Actors Guild.

Most of the actors who came over this time are members of the Actors' Guild, and according to the relevant regulations, there will definitely be people from the Actors' Guild participating in the audition.

"Are you Matthew Horner?" asked a good-looking man in his thirties, "You played roles on the Soul Shifter crew and the Gladiator crew?"

Matthew didn't look at the camera footage and calmly replied, "Yes." ”

Martin Jackson didn't mean to doubt it, and on the information provided by the angel agent in his hand, there was a promotional poster for "Gladiator" recently released by Universal Pictures.

"Go back and forth twice. He added.

Matthew walked around within the range of the camera lens.

Martin Jackson looked at Matthew intently, and felt that his facial contours were clear, his facial features were three-dimensional and upright, his figure was tall and strong, and the whole person was full of a masculine beauty that belonged to men alone.

Then, his gaze moved down from his tough face, first on his thick and powerful chest, nodding slightly at his bulging pectoral muscles, and then at his slender legs and firm buttocks when Matthew turned around and walked back......

Without the actor taking off his clothes, Martin Jackson could also imagine that the muscles on this man's body must be a sculptural, streamlined beauty.

He kept nodding his head, this actor called Matthew Horner has really good appearance, even better than the one who just passed the audition.

"Gotta get this on the list for a second audition. Martin Jackson unconsciously jumped out of this idea in his head, "This audition is eliminated, and there will be no chance." ”

"This is a key recommendation from Angel Brokers. The guy at Jeve Records lowered his voice and said to Britney Spears, "What do you think?"

Britney Spears nodded lightly, "Good, pick him in." ”

"Alright. Martin Jackson called out to Matthew, "Alright, you go out first." ”

Martin Jackson had no opinion, Britney Spears and the record label thought it was appropriate, and it was enough for this first audition.

Matthew saw that it was over after two laps, a little inexplicable, and he felt that this first audition was just to see the image, and he couldn't get on camera.

As soon as he walked out of the audition room, and before he returned to the rest area, a staff member came to inform him that he had passed the initial audition and would come to the crew for a makeup audition five days later.

"It's passed. Little did Matthew know that he and the poster were one of Helen Herman's stepping stones.

Of course, it is a happy thing to be able to pass the audition, Matthew returned to the lounge, Amanda immediately cast an inquiring look, he made an OK gesture, went to the water dispenser to pick up two glasses of water, took a cup and handed Amanda a glass, took a big sip of a glass himself, and then sat down on the chair.

"It went well?" Amanda asked.

Matthew nodded, "Of course." They all thought I was a good actor. ”

Amanda rolled her eyes and deliberately squeezed, "I wish you success, good actor!"

"You passed the audition too?" said Michael Sheehan.

Matthew put down the water glass, "yes, it feels inexplicable." ”

"We're shooting together again!" Michael Sheehan looked very happy, "I just inquired about it, as long as anyone who passes the first audition can participate in the MV shooting, but there is only one main character, and everyone else acts as a background board." ”

A thought flashed through his mind, he must get the protagonist this time!

Matthew sighed, "I don't know who that lucky one will be." ”

Michael Sheehan half-truthfully said, "I wish we were one of us." ”

He didn't say anything about asking Matthew to help this time, and he could see after last time that Matthew wouldn't take into account the so-called friendship between the two of them in this kind of thing at all.

In the same way, he will not care!

Seeing Matthew turn his head and chat with Amanda again, Michael Sheehan sat down quietly, this time he said that he was going to get the actor for everything!

It is said that the male lead will play a couple with Britney Spears in the MV, which is sure to attract a lot of attention.

Michael Sheehan unconsciously has more fantasies in his head, if he can do it with Britney Spears, it will be even better, and he will struggle for ten or even twenty years less in the future......

Michael Sheehan has been in the industry for three years, and of course he knows that it is not easy.

Especially...... His eyes fell on Matthew again, this guy seems to have always had a good relationship with Helen Herman, if Helen Herman focuses on recommending Matthew, his chances of getting the role are probably a little small.

He immediately remembered the person who gave orders in the audition room, and guessed that it was either the director or the producer, if he could get through his relationship......

Matthew has been chatting with Amanda and continues to nurture an already good relationship between the two parties.

As for Michael Sheehan, who was silent next to him, he didn't have to look to guess what this guy was thinking, in fact, this is also what he thought, and no young actor wants to miss such an opportunity.

He's been thinking about how to get Britney Spears to notice him and get some liking in his head.

According to Amanda, as long as Britney Spears approves, he can basically get the role.

In the middle, Helen Herman came once, told Amanda that she had left beforehand, and left.

After the audition, everyone did not have the treatment when they came, so they could only find a way to go back.

Matthew said goodbye to Amanda and walked alone towards the outside of the set, and after walking a short distance, Michael Sheehan chased after him from behind.

"Hey, Matthew!" he asked, "are you still going to Hollywood Boulevard?"

"yes. Matthew stopped.

"Let's do it together. Michael Sheehan proposed, "I'll go to Hollywood Boulevard too." ”

Matthew didn't refuse, walked out of the set with Michael Sheehan, hailed a taxi, and stood on the side of the road patiently waiting for the taxi to come.

"Is your acting class open?" Michael Sheehan followed Matthew, just to see if he would have another way.

"It's time for class. Matthew said casually, "It feels pretty good, it helps me a lot." ”

He heard his phone ringing, thought it was a taxi coming, took it out and pressed the answer button directly, "We're in front of the Disney studio, I'm wearing a ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice coming from the earpiece, "You're Matthew Horner?"

"yes. Matthew felt the sound a little familiar.

This second-hand phone leaked sound, and Michael Sheehan, who was next to him, also heard it and immediately pricked up his ears.

"I'm Martin Jackson, the director you just auditioned for. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Matthew remembered, isn't this the voice of the person who gave the instructions in the audition room.

Matthew quickly asked politely, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"That's right, about the audition, I need to talk to you tonight......"

The man quickly gave an address, and Matthew immediately remembered it, "Okay, I'll be there at eight o'clock in time." ”

Michael Sheehan also heard the address, and his face instantly turned dark, do you want to watch Matthew Horner get this actor?
